Title: Filter device with lamellar structure for filtering liquids
Inventor: OUELLET HENRI
IPC: B01D35/027
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: A filter unit is disclosed suitable for use in a filter housing (6). The filter unit comprises superposed and spaced-apart inclined lamellar structures (16), preferably in the form of hollow truncated cones, each having a lower end side opposite an upper end side and a passage for a flow of liquid between each two of the lamellar structures. Each passage has an inlet for receiving an inflow of liquid to be filtered and an outlet for discharging an outflow of filtered liquid. In each of the passages, an overflow dam wall (28) following a sinuous path is obstructing the flow of liquid and retains particulate matter contained in the liquid. Mounting means are also provided for mounting the filter unit vertically in a filter housing. The invention also concerns a prefilter comprising a filter unit as described above mounted vertically in a filter housing. Such prefilter can advantageously be used at the outlet of a septic tank.

Title: Pem fuel cell
Inventor: LEBAN MARZIO
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: The invention disclosed herein is directed toward a novel structural design for a PEM fuel cell, as well as a novel method of creating an anode and a cathode via a sputtering technique. This invention can be used with hydrogen or direct methanol fuel cells. The geometry, discussed more fully above, allows a design engineer to construct a compact fuel cell useful in portable devices requiring battery power. In addition to facilitating connecting multiple fuel cells together in a layer, the design of this invention allows for the creation of fuel cell stacks. The sputtering disclosed herein is comprised of sputtering thin film catalysts onto the surfaces of anodes [22, 24, 26] and cathodes [32, 34, 36]. In order for a high effective surface area for the fuel and oxidant and their respective reactions to be created, a porous catalyst could be used. In addition, the thickness of the catalysts can be chosen in such a way as to support electron conduction and, therefore, to allow the catalyst and the surface upon which it was sputtered to act as an anode and a cathode.

Title: Fault management system for a communications network
Inventor: MAXWELL RICHARD
IPC: H04M3/30
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: There is described a method of operating a fault management system for an access network which forms part of a communications network. In the access network, terminating lines in the form of pairs of copper wires extend from a local switch (10) through a series of nodes to terminal equipment provided for user of the network. The fault management system includes a test head (104) and an access network management system (102). Each night, the test head (104) performs a series of tests on each of the terminating lines. The results of the tests are transmitted to the access network management (102). The test results are then analysed with respect of a set of parameter to identify characteristics that would indicate that a fault is likely to occur on the associated circuit within a predetermined period e.g. 1 year. Further analysis can then be carried out to establish the probability of the fault actually occurring and/or whether the potential fault analysed is going to occur in either the underground or the over-ground part of the network.

Title: Vascular occlusion solid-phase agent with immobilised platelet binding agent
Inventor: STEWART MICHAEL W
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for targeting and delivering solid-phase platelet-dependent vascular occlusion agents. In particular, particles or coils or stents coated with platelet binding agents are directed to target vasculature, such as the vasculature of solid tumor masses or AV-malformations or aneurysms or endoleaks; the solid-phase agent then binds and activates platelets, which in turn bind and activate other platelets. This process results in the rapid formation of a platelet-mediated thrombus about the solid-phase agent, causing vessel occlusion.
